Yes, Tofi, you're right. It was developed by Rob Faigin, body builder and personal trainer. It's a great plan...but...I've been reading "Women, Weight and Hormones" by Elizabeth Lee Vliet. She says that women need to be wary of any diet created by a man! This hormone stuff is complicated, and I'm having a hard time making sense of it all. I have not seen a doctor in quite some time, and even then, it wasn't a "good" one! Yes, I've got lots of muscle, (because I believed that would burn the fat) but, as far as I'm concerned, it's a BIG FAT LIE! The problem is at the waist, and I guarantee you, it's NOT muscle!
Rosebud, I checked out the link and that may be what I need to do. However, I think I'm suffering from battle fatigue...and I feel that I can't go on...but I also feel I can't stop, so I guess that means I'm trapped!!! I've been spinning my wheels for too long now, and I'm worn out and weary and my mood has suffered. I never liked meat to begin with, and I despise cooking or fixing anything! Somehow, I need to find a way to re-group and gather my strength. If I won the lottery, the FIRST thing I'd do is hire a personal chef!!!
Regarding food intolerances, people keep telling me about NAET. (
www.naet.com) They swear it works wonderfully! I don't understand it, but have ordered the book. Supposedly, you can be immediately "cleared" of the allergy if you avoid it for 25 hours after treatment. Sounds too good to be true, but so many people rave about it, it's got my curiosity.
